unusual '56 Color "Flamingo"

I'm told that there was a color available - towards the end of the '56 model run perhaps? - called Flamingo, which, as can be imagined, is a shade of pink, and which does not show up in any color chip books. Anyone aware if this is correct, and does a car exist in this rare color? How would one duplicate the correct shade if there is no chip extant?

Although my goal is as correct a restoration as I can make on my Exec, I'm not above at least considering changing color to another one that's a bit more unusual while still correct for the year, and with a gray/black interior it's relatively easy to make a change.
